Just like that, the Alchemist Competition of the Spirit Continent, which was held once every 100 years, ended.
This year's Alchemist Competition could be said to be the most exciting one ever, especially with Ye Mo, the dark horse who had appeared out of nowhere and cultivated the Supreme Heaven Spirit Return Pill. Everyone was greatly astonished by him.
As for Ye Mo, after the competition ended, he was invited to leave by the Castellan Estate.
"It's good to be the champion. The Castellan has summoned him as soon as possible."
"That's right. The Castellan of Pill City has six divine souls. Among all the castellans, he's considered a big shot. Now that Ye Mo has been summoned by the Castellan, his achievements in the future will be limitless."
Countless alchemists discussed among themselves.
As for the Pill Saint's successor and Dan Chenzi, their faces were ashen. Not only had Ye Xiao defeated them, but he had also defeated the Pill Saint. Why was this Ye Xiao so powerful?
"Ye Xiao, even if the Castellan of Pill City wants to see you, he'll only be trying to persuade you not to join the Pill Clan. My goal is your secret. As long as I get it, my alchemy skills will be unparalleled and I'll rule the entire alchemy world."
At that moment, standing on the sea of clouds, the Pill Saint watched Ye Mo leave with a cold smile on his face.
At that moment, Ye Mo bid farewell to Yang Rong and left the plaza with the black-armored guard of the Castellan Estate.
The next moment, they appeared at the Castellan Estate. With the black-armored guard leading the way, Ye Mo's journey was smooth.
Next, he was brought to a big hall. A middle-aged man appeared in front of him. This man had a scholarly aura and was wearing a fur battle robe. Without a doubt, this was the Castellan of Pill City.
"Ye Xiao, I am the Castellan of Pill City, Yan Nantian. I've asked you to come here today because I have something important to tell you."
Yan Nantian didn't waste any time and went straight to the point.
"Lord Castellan, if you have something to say, just say it."
Ye Mo said calmly.
"Do you know the purpose of this Alchemist Competition?"
Without waiting for Ye Mo's reply, Yan Nantian continued, "The Pill Clan wants to use the Alchemist Competition to recruit all the outstanding alchemists in the Spirit Continent. In the end, they want to control the entire alchemy world, including the Pill City. Originally, the champion of the Alchemist Competition was supposed to be the Pill Saint's disciple or Dan Chenzi. But your appearance has disrupted their plans."
"What? The Dan clan actually had such great ambitions? You want to control the entire alchemy world? "
Ye Mo was shocked.
"I watched the entire process of the competition, and I found a few problems."
Yan Nantian said indifferently, "In the past, the rules were that in the finals, the participants used their own cauldrons. But this time, the cauldrons were given out by the Pill Clan. Also, Dan Chenzi and the Pill Saint's successor both concocted pills of ninety-five percent purity. From what I can see, they don't have that kind of level, and it's impossible for them to concoct pills of the same purity."
"Castellan, are you saying that the pills they concocted were prepared in advance?"
"That's right," Yan Nantian said. "They want to create two champions. Think about it – how many powers will come to offer them an olive branch?"
Ye Mo could understand that. His appearance had ruined the Pill Clan's plan. But what puzzled him was that the Pill Clan had given him the title of champion so easily.
"Are you wondering why the Pill Clan gave you the title of champion so easily?"
Hearing that, Ye Mo nodded.
"You concocted the Supreme Heaven Spirit Return Pill in front of so many people," Yan Nantian said. "Even the Supreme Heaven Spirit Return Pill is something the Pill Clan can't deny even if they wanted to. So, they might as well give you the title of champion and then recruit you."
Yan Nantian smiled and continued, "This is also the reason why I summoned you. Even though I know that the people of the Dan Clan will know the reason why I summoned you, and maybe they will throw out an even greater temptation for you to join the Dan Clan, as the City Lord of the Dan City, I don't want that to happen. Make your own decision."
"I'll think about it."
Ye Mo nodded. He understood what Yan Nantian meant – he didn't want him to join the Pill Clan.
"Alright, the people of the Pill Clan are probably waiting for you outside the Castellan Estate," Yan Nantian said.
He patted Ye Mo's shoulder and said, "Guards, escort Ye Xiao out."
"Yes!"
Ye Mo was escorted out of the Castellan Estate.
Along the way, the Death Soul Demon Emperor seemed to have recalled something. "If I'm not wrong, the Pill Saint and the Pill Devil were the apprentices of an Alchemy Grandmaster. This Alchemy Grandmaster was known as the Pill Monarch in the past, and I even had some dealings with him back then. However, I later heard that this Pill Monarch had fallen. Those who didn't know the reason all thought that the Pill Monarch had passed away while sitting cross-legged, but it was actually the work of those two apprentices. It was said that the Pill Monarch had a peerless pill recipe on him.
"You're saying that the Pill Saint and the Pill Demon each obtained a peerless pill formula from the Pill King?"
Ye Mo was shocked.
"That's right. You've concocted a top-grade pill, and your technique is rusty. With the Pill Saint's eyesight, he'll definitely be able to see through it. He's someone who killed his own master for a peerless pill formula. If he summons you, you must be careful."
The Dead Soul Devil Emperor reminded.
"I know. Perhaps the two pills with ninety-five percent purity in the alchemy competition were refined by him."
Ye Mo nodded. If the Dead Soul Demon Emperor hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't have known what kind of person the Pill Saint was.
With the black-armored guard leading the way, Ye Mo walked out of the Castellan Estate. As expected, Dan Dongfeng was already waiting outside the Castellan Estate. When he saw Ye Mo, he immediately went up to him.
"Ye Xiao, what did Yan Nantian say to you?"
Dan Dongfeng said with a smile, his face courteous.
"Nothing much. He wanted to recruit me, but I rejected him."
Ye Mo's expression remained unchanged as he spoke calmly.
"This Yan Nantian is indeed cunning."
Dan Dongfeng thought to himself before asking, "Yan Nantian is the Castellan of Pill City. Why did you reject him? If you become the chief alchemist of Pill City, the entire Pill City will give you the title of Lord. "
"I'm not going to hide in a small Pill City."
Ye Mo said with a smile.
"Hehe, looks like you're quite an ambitious person. The Pill Saint is already waiting for you at the Fragrant Pill Pavilion. I'll take you there now."
As Dan Dongfeng spoke, he led Ye Mo to a huge pavilion. Before Ye Mo even entered the Fragrant Pill Pavilion, he could feel a powerful Mental Power scanning his body. Ye Mo's Mental Power had long since reached the peak of Rank Nine. As soon as someone scanned him, he would be able to detect it immediately.
"The Pill Saint is on the seventh floor of the Fragrant Pill Pavilion."
After saying that, Dan Dongfeng led Ye Mo to the seventh floor of the Fragrant Pill Pavilion. Dan Dongfeng stood guard at the door while Ye Mo pushed the door open and entered.
"Ye Xiao, you're finally here!"
The Pill Saint, who was standing in front of the window, turned around with a smile.
"Greetings, Senior Pill Saint!"
Ye Mo cupped his hands. Although he didn't have a good impression of this so-called Pill Saint, he still had to go through the formalities.
"Ye Xiao, you're the champion of this year's Alchemist Competition. I'm interested in taking you as my disciple. What do you think?"
